Electronic Cigarette Guide, How to buy ? Where to buy ? Helpful Information

What is it like? How much does it cost? Where can I buy it> What does it taste like? How big is the throat hit? Does it get you buzzed like a real cigarette does? How much nicotine does it have compared to a real cigarette? How does this compared and how much safer is it?

Answer:

I smoked for 17 years, and have been using an e-cigarette since January. I’ll try to answer each question as best I can:

How much does it cost?
-0 for a starter kit. You will want to buy a few extra atomizers *the part that vaporizers the e-liquid* and some extra e-liquid to try a few different flavours out.

Where can I buy it>
It depends on where you live. The easist way is to purchase online.

What does it taste like?
IT is different from cigarette smoke, but after a few days, you realize it actually tastes pururer and cleaner then cigarettes. You can get over 100 flavours of e-liquid for your electronic cigarette.

How big is the throat hit?
It depends on the e-cigarette and the amount of nicotine in the e-liquid. Most smokers who try my e-cigarette usually cough and can’t handle the throat hit at first.

Does it get you buzzed like a real cigarette does?
The nicotine absorbs slower in the vapor then in the smoke, so it takes a few more seconds to get the nicotine into your body, but you will still feel satisfied like with a cigarette within a few minutes.

How much nicotine does it have compared to a real cigarette?
You can get anywhere from nicotine free (0MG) to extra high nicotine (36MG) strength e-liquid. I use either 16MG or 24MG e-luquid, and I used to smoke medium strength cigarettes.

How does this compared and how much safer is it?
It is comparable to drinking coffee. Nicotine by itself is about as harmful as caffeene. Just be sure to purchase your products from a reputable company. They should provide you with certifications of their products, or have them on their website.

The electronic cig sellers advertize that you can “smoke anywhere”.. But is this really true?
Thanks!

Benz- Thank you so much. I think I will just see how it goes. I smoke like a freight train right now. My e-cig will be here tomorrow. Mine is black with a blue led, so it does not look like a regular cig. I don’t want to keep sneaking to the bathroom, but I think that at night, if I cover the led, and my seatmate doesn’t mind, I should be ok.

Answer:

I think you will be OK if you do not go crazy with it! I have smoked mine in Dulles Airport, Houston Airport, Charlotte Airport, Wachovia Bank Locations, Supermarkets, the hospital, just about every where. The key is to take a few puffs at a time. You get your nicotine hit and it is absorbed in your lungs (getting you passed your nicotine fit). It is very different than smoking a tobacco cigarette where you need to finish the entire cigarette. In conclusion, I use my electronic cigarette I purchased from smartsmokerusa just about every place I go. I am not sure about the other types (not from smartsmokerusa) and how they work. If it is a sensitive place like an airport I limit myself to a few puffs at a time. Airports have cameras throughout but I think they are not quite sure what I am doing. I take two-three puffs and stick it in my pocket. It is obvious by this move that it is not a lit cigarette. As to the bus, you might want to show it to your seat mate and explain to them how it works and that it is not “second hand smoke” that will impact them. I have found that most people including Docs, Store managers, etc.. have wanted to know where they can get one for themselves or a family member. Be prudent and you should be OK.

It’s completely ridiculous. I can’t contact anyone about this and no one responds. I get no click on the ad I AM running because it doesn’t say ANYTHING aboutmy products. I have a FDA Certification number but I can’t say FDA approved either!How there is nothing in the terms and conditions about Electronic Cigarettes or Personal Nicotine Vaporizers ?

I was think about buy this thing called “Blu electronic cigarette”.I want to know if there is anyone out there who has bought this electronic cigarette? whats is the pro’s and con’s of this electronic cigarette.Is it easy to switch from really cigarette to electronic cigarette?

Answer:

Before you go spend ANY money on an electronic cig – you really need to educate yourself a little bit. There are MANY different models and prices vary by A LOT.
I’ve heard good and bad things about the Blu. Then there is their TERRIBLE history on shipping.
Check out some vids on you tube – just search electronic cig or e-cig and read some forums. I find forums that are not associated with a specific brand of e-cig to be the most helpful as you get unbiased info on a wide variety of products and vendors. I like Vapersforum.com but there are many others.
There are tons of pros about the e-cig you can read up on those on the forums as I could go on and on and on.
Cons – kind of a PIA sometimes – but its electronic so you have to maintain it: charge the batts all the time etc.
Is it worth it – YES! 36 year smoker here – was off of tobacco cigs within 2 weeks (a good long learning curve) and I wasn’t even planning on giving up cigs – it just happened.
I would highly recommend you check it out.
Good Luck and Happy Vaping!

I’m trying to help my wife quit smoking and she mentioned that I research the electronic cigarette for her. Unfortunately, the internet is full of useless information on this things and I can’t seem to find any real reviews. Can anyone point me in the right direction or recommend what works?

Answer:

In my opinion the best to start with is a Joye 510 model, Thats what I started with, And here a year later as a veteran E cig user I still only use the 510, It’s just all around a work horse.Produces tons of vapor and a great throat hit. Have her take a look at it and see if she is interested -

http://www.ecigbestsave.com/Joye-510-starter-kits-s/28.htm

Auto is button less, Manual has a button.
The Manual models produce a slightly better throat hit and vapor.

E cigs are the only thing that kept me off cigs, They give the same satisfaction but better.
I mean, There is no guilt in using them, They don’t hurt you more than a cup of coffee does, With real cigs I felt the health effects but with e cogs I feel like I did before I started smoking. There are not a novelty, I know ill probably use them for the rest of my life. Probably one of the greatest creations ever.

Anyways, If she gets one, I strongly recommend she gets a few bottles of juice. They come in alot of flavors. fruit,desert flavors etc…. And ofcourse Tobacco or tobacco/menthol as well.
You just drip it on the atomizer and puff away. I have used cartomizers before but they don’t last nearly as long from my experience with them.

Here are my recommendations for E juice suppliers, And Ill write
a few flavors from each company to give an idea of what their like.

http://store.vapor4life.com/

Their Hilton and Kent are great choices for tobacco. Hilton being a sweeter tobacco.
I have never tried their Menthol tobacco, But have used their mint.
The mint is very cold. Gives you the feeling like after you eat a
strong mint. Good for a Menthol smoker.
Their Cafe Mocha is a top notch coffee flavor too.

http://www.litecigusa.net/

Their Wenston flavor is the most
authentic “Cigarette” flavor I have tried to date.
But all their tobacco flavors i’ve tried are amazing !

http://www.halocigs.com/

Their Menthols are the closest I have
found to a real Menthol cig. Its not minty. Just Menthol
with a bit of vanilla in the background. Reminds me of a Pall Mall Menthol

http://www.diyflavorshack.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=4

This place has the most accurate flavors for fruits,deserts etc…
I have found to date. Like if you get Melon it will taste exactly like
melon. Their tobacco choices are good too. The Black N Mild is a
great rich tobacco flavor.

These 4 are my usual places I order from.

Anyways hope that helped out some.

BTW want to add, I am not an e cig spam bot.
There are alot of them on here trying to get people
to buy their products. I am just a straight up consumer and am sharing my opinion and background in vaping !

When I initially heard about electronic cigarettes my reaction was that this was just a gimmick. What do you think?

Answer:

Hi Poyiga,

I have various ecigs, they all work (no gimmick) and I love them. If you are a tobacco smoker then I do recommend that you explore ecigs. I am so glad that I do not have to deal with those nasty and stinky cigarettes anymore.

There are now hundreds of websites that sell ecigs. It is very confusing. Take a look at this buying guide here:

http://www.ecigarettes365.com/buying_guide

It lists various brands, the key features, and provides ratings by actual users.

Good luck.

I’ve been hearing that electronic cigarettes are the best way to quit real smoking. Is this true?

Answer:

The best is always subjective. Just like every other alternative, it works wonders for some, and others have no luck at all.

If you want to try it.. do some research on it first. A lot of people give up on the ecig because they got it as an impulse buy, and ended up getting massively over priced crap that doesnt work well, or even just simply doesnt match their needs.

There are a lot of different models, different brands, different flavors.
google “ecig forum” and look for message boards. Read a LOT.

I’m contemplating on whether I want to invest in the “blu” electronic cigarette, and it’s ten dollars for a single battery and I just want to get all the facts before I invest into something that I know little about.

Answer:

This battery is Lithium-ion

I’m looking into getting an electronic cigarette, but i would like to buy one with a new atomizer in each cartridge. what brands offer this and are they much more expensive?

Answer:

The only ones you can get with a built in atomizer is the disposable e cigarettes like these http://www.ecigarettesnational.com/disposable-e-cigarettes/gamucci-elite-disposable-electronic-cigarette/

They generally range from about 19 to 22 bucks depending on where you get them.

If you are having trouble with atomizers, why not get a quality e cigarette starter kit like Gamucci http://www.ecigarettesnational.com/e-cigarette-starter-kits/gamucci-micro-starter-kit/

Mine has lasted for over 60 days so far and I have not had the first problem with it. I have had top replace the smoking everywhere and the njoy and several other brands atomizers.

I think Gamucci has the best quality, it has outlasted the others 2 to 1.

I am planning on quitting smoking cigarettes this week and am looking to buy an electronic cigarette. I have done some research and found a few that I like (brands) including: SmokeEverywhere, Red Dragon, NJoy, and Joye. I am looking for an “e-cig” that looks like an actual cigarette, has a decent draw, uses the prefilled cartridges, and has an ok selection of flavors that hopefully won’t be disgusting. Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Answer:

you should definitely check out www.21centurysmoking.com! my husband and i researched the companies you looked at – placed orders with 3 of them and only received the order from 21 century smoking. they have 3 different models – my husband likes the blackjack because it’s the most convenient – the atomizer is right in the cartridge so you only have a battery and cartridge to worry about. they have many flavors – he likes the menthol and energy drink! actually, he loves them and switching to e-cigs has been a great thing for us! oh yeah, 21 century smoking gives a money back guarantee if you don’t like it.

be sure you look at them before making your choice – we highly recommend them for the quick delivery and great customer service. we called their number just to see what would happen…and someone actually answered the phone!
